Housing Leased To Lower Income Persons:

Better Federal Guidance And

Management Could Improve Quality



Although many homes leased to lower income
persons under the section 8 existing hous-
ing program are decent, safe, and sanitary,
others violate Federal quality standards. Prob-
lems which adversely affect the quality of the
housing include:

    --Federal standards not always clear and
    comprehensive.

    --Inadequate housing inspection and
    approval practices.

    --Higher priorities given to other factors,
    such as immediate need for housing,
    tenant location preferences, and hous-
    ing production goals.

    --Unclear Federal management respon-
    sibility and accountability for housing
    quality.

The Secretary, Department of Housing and
Urban Development, should provide managers
of subsidized housing with better guidance on
maintaining quality.
